Dynamics of EEG Slow-Wave Activity and Core Body Temperature in Human Sleep After Exposure to Bright Light

Christian Cajochen, Derk‐Jan Dijk, Alexander A. Borbély·1992·Sleep

Abstract

In seven subjects sleep was recorded after a single 3-hour (2100-0000 hours) exposure to either bright light (BL, approx. 2,500 lux) or dim light (DL, approx. 6 lux) in a crossover design. The latency to sleep onset was increased after BL. Whereas rectal temperature before onset and during the first 4 hours of sleep was higher after BL than after DL, the time course of electroencephalographic (EEG) slow-wave activity (SWA, EEG power density in the range of 0.75-4.5 Hz) in nonrapid eye movement sleep (NREMS) differed only slightly between the conditions. After BL, SWA tended to be lower than after DL in the first NREMS-REMS cycle and was higher in the fourth cycle at the time when the rectal temperature did not differ. The differences in SWA may have been due to a minor sleep-disturbing aftereffect of BL, which was followed by a rebound. The data are not in support of a close relationship between SWA and core body temperature.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
